lowing manner:  The  Board  of  Education  shall  cause  to  be  published 
once  a  week  for  two  successive  weeks  in  a  newspaper  published  in  said 
school  district,  or  if  there  be  no  such  newspaper,  then  by  posting  for  a 
like  period  in  three  public  and  conspicuous  places  in  said  district,  a 
notice  describing  with  sufficient  particularity  for  identification  the 
bond  or  bonds  intended  to  be  refunded,  and  requiring  any  and1  all 
persons  objecting  to  the  legality,  regularity,  or  validity  of  said  bond 
or  bonds,  or  of  the  issue  or  sale  thereof,  or  of  the  indebtedness  repre- 
sented thereby,  to  be  and  appear  before  such  Board  of  Education 
at  a  specified  place  within  said  district  on  a  specified  day  and  time, 
which  shall  not  be  less  than  fourteen  nor  more  than  sixty  days  after 
the  first  publication  of  said  notice  then  and  there  to  present  in  writ- 
ing, duly  certified,  such  objection  as  he  or  they  may  have  to  the  legal- 


Session  Laws  of  Utah  1919  9 

ity,  regularity,  or  validity  of  said  bond  or  bonds,  the  issue  or  sale 
thereof,  or  the  indebtedness  represented  thereby.  The  Board  of  Edu- 
cation shall  convene  at  the  time  and  place  specified  in  said  notice  and 
receive  all  objections  that  may  be  presented  as  aforesaid,  which  shall 
thereupon  be  filed  and  preserved  by  said  Board  of  Education.  If  no 
such  written  objections  are  presented  at  the  time  and  place  specified 
in  said  notice,  the  Board  of  Education  shall  thereupon  so  certify,  and 
all  persons  shall  thereafter  be  forever  barred  from  questioning  in  any 
manner  or  proceeding,  the  legality,  regularity,  or  validity  of  such 
bond  or  bonds,  or  of  the  issue  or  sale  thereof,  or  of  the  indebtedness 
represented  thereby,  and  said  Board  of  Education  may  thereupon  re- 
fund or  redeem  said  bond  or  bonds. 

Any  person  filing  any  such  written  objection  shall,  within  twenty 
days  thereafter,  commence  appropriate  legal  proceedings  against  said 
Board  of  Education  and  such  other  person  or  persons  as  may  be  proper 
parties,  in  the  district  court  for  the  county  and  district  wherein  said 
school  district  is  situated,  to  challenge  and  determine  the  legality, 
regularity  and  validity  of  such  bond  or  bonds,  of  the  issue  and  sale 
thereof,  and  of  the  indebtedness  represented  thereby.  The  effect  of 
a  failure,  for  any  cause  whatever,  to  commence  such  legal  proceedings 
within  said  twenty  days,  shall  be  the  same  as  though  no  such  objection 
had  been  presented  or  filed,  and  upon  proof  of  such  failure  by  certifi- 
cate of  the  clerk  of  said  court  or  otherwise,  said  Board  of  Education 
mav  refund  or  redeem  said  bonds. 

Bonds  may  also  be  issued  by  a  consolidated  school  district  without 
an  election,  for  the  funding,  purchase  or  redemption  of  the  outstand- 
ing indebtedness  of  any  such  consolidated  school  district,  provided 
such  debt  was  contracted  prior  to  consolidation  and  was  assumed  by 
such  consolidated  school  district  pursuant  to  law.  The  legality,  regu- 
larity, and  validity  of  any  such  outstanding  indebtedness  may  be  deter- 
mined in  the  manner  hereinabove  set  forth  for  determining  the  valid- 
ity of  bonds  to  be  refunded1  by  any  Board  of  Education. 

Sec.  2.     This  Act  shall  take  effect  upon  approval.
